“The main motivation for this new initiative was to create a sense of community across the Global Studies programs,” said Lee. “It has been great to work with and bring together students and alumni with such diverse areas of interest and who feel so positively about Global Studies.”

The 54-page edition includes articles, reviews, photos and poetry covering a range of interests and values of the contributors including the pursuit of social justice, a globally-informed perspective, and critical reflection.

The magazine is expected to continue with the release of a second edition later in the year.
